John D Tassinari, OD, FCOVD and Wendy Shem Yeh, OD

I’ve been bringing my kids here for about 6 years, I love the time and attention they get each time I bring them in, not only is Dr. Tassinari great but his staff is wonderful, always friendly and ready to help!
Thank you Doctor and Lady’s for your help!

Dr. Tassinari is the kindest and most skilled optometrist I’ve ever met. He is friendly and very professional, and maintains a beautifully kept office.
His staff are caring and warm, and are very good with keeping the schedule on track. They sell frames at the office, too, which is super convenient so I don’t have to run around to a million stores trying to find glasses that I like at prices that I can afford.
Dr. T also does vision therapy. There is a cork board at the doorway when you walk into the office filled up with drawings and letters from happy (and young!) patients that thank him for helping them see better. It’s clear that Dr. Tassinari really cares for his patients and genuinely wants to help them see.
Prices are reasonable, office is clean, staff is awesome, and there is plenty of parking in their private lot. What more could you ask for? :)

I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl, and every time, I’ve had the greatest service! Everyone in this office is very helpful, well trained, and they know what they are doing! Thanks Dr. T, Cathy, Yvette l, Steph, and everyone else. ;)

I have been to many offices and Dr. Tassinari is my favorite. My youngest daughter went to him for vision therapy which turned out really well. I had an emergency one morning because I splashed comet from the sink in my eye and they saw me immediately! I was so grateful. I really like his no-​nonsense, don’t-charge-you-for– every-​little-​thing attitude. We’ve been there now for about 4 – 5 years and will stay. Basing my vision insurance choice on him.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Tassinari and his staff. I think I’ve been a patient of his for a little over two years.
He is very knowledgable and up to date about all things vision.
I went to his office weekly for several months to help fix my eyesight after it was damaged/​altered due to a brain injury I sustained in a motor vehicle accident. My eyesight is very close to what it was before the accident and I believe the therapy helped me a great deal! Yvette and Cathy are superb vision therapists!
Everyone on his staff is very helpful, especially when it comes to picking out glasses and sunglasses too. And they are just friendly, nice and pleasant to speak to over the phone or during an eye exam as well.
I also went to him once in an emergency situation when I got a chemical in my eye over the weekend and his treatment helped my eye to heal very quickly. I was so grateful he was available to help me with this!
I hope to return to Dr. Tassinari’s office for all my optometry needs for years to come.

I have been a patient of Dr. T’s for almost 20 years. My mom found him when I was about 12 and it was a blessing that she took me there. He was able to notice that I had some rare eye conditions that if not caught in time could have a serious impact on my vision. I went to eye therapy for awhile and he was able to help me train my eyes to work properly (my muscles were weak). I moved to Seattle and luckily found a similarly fantastic optometrist but when I moved back to CA I made sure to start seeing Dr. Tassinari again. I am in my early thirties and I already am at risk for glaucoma b/​c I have high eye pressure. Although my eye muscles were strengthened through eye therapy years ago I have what’s called progressive myopia and will always have that. My eyes need special care and attention. He is so great at keeping on top of my crazy eyes and really looking out for my vision health both in the immediate moment as well as down the road. He has had some staff changes and to be honest one gal is pretty young and inexperienced. She is very sweet and I am sure well intentioned but she has a ton to learn. However, I trust Dr. Tassinari so much that I will continue to go there b/​c ultimately he is the dr and the reason why I am there. You don’t always get called when your contacts are in and so I find that I have to usually call and inquire myself which is annoying but again Dr. Tassinari is amazing at what he does and he really cares about his patients so I would continue going there no matter what other things may not be perfect. I highly recommend taking your children there b/​c they may be like me and have conditions that others wouldn’t suspect and thus miss the opportunity to diagnose it properly and in enough time to correct the issues.

Dr. Tassinari,
You were a god send for Austin 10 years ago. The staff are super friendly and caring. After taking my son every where including children’s hospital, this is where things changed for us and Austin’s vision got better. Had it not been for you my son may have been completely blind. Today he is only blind in one eye and the other is correctable with lens. Dr. Tassinari was diligent with his eye patch therapy and told me what to expect. My son was bumping in walls and none the less couldn’t ride a bike. We got his eye strong enough that my son finally rode his bike with his eye patch on! Today my son is a healthy 14 year old that can see, read, and write. My son son was so clutsy that his glasses would break all the time, I would bring them in and they would work on them, the staff where so awesome. Thank you Doctor Tassinari .you are missed!

I’ve been coming here for 15 years or so, even after moving out of the immediate area. Dr. Tassinari and his staff provide a level of personalized service that I had not previously received anywhere else — it’s not even close. Well worth the drive.

Dr. Tassinari is the best you can get. He knows his stuff (he teaches at USC in addition to his practice) and he has a great staff. It doesn’t take long before they get to know you by name. I’ve found his glasses/​lenses prices are not out of line but, in fact, are rather reasonable. My entire family has their eyes cared for by Dr. JT — who is a caring, compassionate, and talented doctor. If you need an eye doctor — he’s the one who will take care of you with care and professionalism. Plus, he’s just a really nice guy!

My dog stepped on my favorite sunglasses today and twisted the frames so badly I figured they were done for. But since I am a patient and was near the office, I stopped in to see if anyone in Tassinari’s office could fix them for me. Sure enough, a few minutes later I walked out with glasses that fit better than ever before, with the dog damage neutralized. They were so nice about it, too. Dr. Tassinari is fine, very friendly and seems like a great doctor, but his office staff is superb.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tassinari for over 20 years and I am always pleased when I visit his office. Dr. Tassinari himself is knowledgeable and professional and he will always take the time to explain things to you if you ask. His staff over the years has always been friendly, efficient, and caring.
I’m no expert in the field of optometry but I have observed a history of continual equipment upgrades. I’m guessing they keep well abreast of current trends and technology.
If you buy your glasses or contacts from him then yes, they will be more expensive than other places. But you are getting a human touch and extra care that you don’t get at big discount places. If price is really an object for you, you can always request a copy of your prescription and take your purchase elsewhere.

OK, so I’m biased since I used to work here.
However, I think it’s pretty clear that this is a caring office with attentive professionals. We really tried to eliminate any stress/​wait time that you usually have to face with medical offices.
The schedule is usually booked for a month in advance, but this is because the doctor will always spend at least 30 minutes with each patient.
The opticians are top-​notch as well, as they’re extremely patient in frame selection, and provide free adjustments and cheap replacements if they’re out of warranty.
The office also specializes in vision therapy, which has been proven to help kids improve various deficiencies in vision.
Dr. T is an exemplary professional with an immense knowledge base, but is also extremely friendly and will try to educate patients in every way.
Even though it’s a small office, they still have all the most up-​to-​date technology!
